If the saw chain
5

2. Rotate the bar adjust locking nut
7
counterclockwise as
shown in Fig.D to remove sprocket cover
6
.
3. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain
5
and
wrap it around the guide bar
4
, ensuring the teeth are
facing the correctdirection.
4. Ensure the chain is properly set in the slot around the
entire guidebar.
5. Place the saw chain around the sprocket
40
while
lining up the slot in the guide bar with the bolt
41
in
the base of the tool and the chain tensioning pin
42
as
shown in Fig.C.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the position of the chain
tension pin
42
for it to properly engage the slot in the
guide bar by rotating the chain tensioning screw
8
.
6. Rotate the screw in the front of the housing clockwise to
increase the chaintension.
7. While holding the bar still, replace the sprocket cover
6
.
8. Rotate the bar adjust locking nut
7
clockwise until snug,
then loosen nut one full turn, so the saw chain can be
properlytensioned.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure the tool is unplugged
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.
1. With the saw on a flat, firm surface, check the saw
chain
5
tension. The tension is correct when the chain
snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3mm) away from
the guide bar
4
with light force from the index finger
and thumb as shown in Fig.E.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar adjust locking
nut
7
, rotate the chain tensioning screw
8
clockwise to
increase tension.
3. Tighten the bar adjust locking nut until snug after
making sure the saw chain
5
is snug around the guide
bar
4
. There should be no “sag” between the guide bar
and the chain on the underside as shown in Fig.F.
4. Once chain tension is correct, securely tighten bar adjust
lockingnut.
5. Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar
andchain.
6. When the chain is new, check the tension frequently
(after unplugging tool) during the first 2 hours of use as
a new chain stretchesslightly.
